Need to know what type of housing and pens are used. We will be getting 8 ducklings on 16 Apr. I want to have everything ready ahead of time. I'm good at building chicken coops but not sure what is needed for ducks.
were getting
2 Black and White Magpie
2 White Peking
2 Crested Khaki Campbell...
Last night while getting my coops ready for the snow. I saw one of the hens with a mouse. SHe must have just killed it and the other hens where tring to take it from her. She just stopped an tilted her head back and swallowed it.
I was shocked. Is this normal??
We have never gotten chucks from the hatchery before. Just put in order and they will be here 3-4 Dec.
What cna we expect ??? What I have I gotten my self in to??
All thougths welcome
How can you telll if your hens are too old to lay any more. We got some hens back in November and the were layng fine. But in Apr one of them stopped laying and now a second hen has stopped laying.
Is there a way for me to tell if they are too old to lay any more???
I have noticed each time one of my hens lays her first egg is seems extra large. After that they apear to me to be smaller. Is this a nomal behavior for them to have produce a extra lage egg the first time ???
How can you tell if they are too old to lay eggs any more??
